According to MFS's network staff, the current mae-east outage (now at 1.5 hours and rising) is a scheduled maintence. According to the on-duty staff, no one was notified. Not even them. Sigh. No ETA of when it will be back up. Dave Rand -- Dave Rand dlr@bungi.com http://www.bungi.com
MFS just told me that the ETR is 4:00a Central time, but they are hopeful that the chassis for Giga 4 will be replaced before then. They are tracking on MFS ticket #261892. I didn't want to sleep tonight anyway :) Mark Dave Rand wrote:

I'm finally back up. Happened about 11:30 PM, PDT. According to the call center, they were notified about 11:15 PM PDT that there was a "scheduled maintenance on giga 4 to replace the chassis." Don't you just love MFS? Scheduling a maintenance and notifying everyone over an hour after it starts. Either they are lying (which is definitely not out of the question) or they just forgot to notify us. However the latter seems a bit implausible once you realize that 20+ networks had called in and the call center supposedly tried to contact the techs doing the maintenance but couldn't get a straight answer as to what was going on or even an ETR. If it really was "scheduled", why wouldn't the techs know exactly what was going on and when it would be done? Does anyone from MFS/Worldcom/UUNET/Brooks/[whomever else they swallowed this week] have a clue what happened and/or what will be done next time?
